Light, Joy, & Peace

Thankful Thursday

What are you thankful for about your students today?

You may have challenging, exhausting days during this time of the year. It may feel like you’ve tried every strategy in the book for some of your students, and yet you continue to face the same obstacles. Waking up and doing it all over again every morning may feel increasingly difficult.

But in the midst of these very real struggles, you have students in your midst who bring light, joy, and peace. Perhaps they’re the ones who have made quiet, but confident growth throughout the year. Maybe they’re the ones who say, “Good Morning,” to you every day without fail. Or they might be the ones who just bring a sense of contentment with them that subtly radiates through your learning space. Whoever these students are, I invite you to use this day to notice and appreciate them for who they are.
